Hurricane Sandy Grounds All D.C. Area Flights

WASHINGTON (WUSA) - All flights at Reagan National Airport and Dulles International Airports are canceled due to severe weather, but officials say the airports will stay open for stranded passengers throughout Hurricane Sandy.

Officials say the last flight departed Reagan National for Atlanta, Ga. today around 9 a.m., and the last flight at Dulles International departed at 1:15 p.m. for Tokyo, Japan.

If possible, the Airports Authority urges passengers to stay away from the airports since many food and retail shops are closed. If you need to rebook your travel plans, call your airline directly to reschedule.
